Love it or hate it, everyone's heard of eos (evolution of smooth) because of their cute little sphere lip balms. Although their lip balms aren't quite moisturizing enough for me, I've been thrilled at the brand's concept since they first came out - they're natural, organic, paraben-free, and have really cool packaging - not to mention they're downright cheap compared to other natural brands! For months they only had the lip balm and shave cream, but now they've introduced two new products to their line: hand cream and body lotion.

The products have been buzzed about in magazines for a while now, but it was only last week when I saw them for the first time in person!

The hand lotion is 97% natural, free of parabens, pthalates, lanolins and dyes. The above photo only shows the "nourish" hand lotion with blue packaging, but there is also a "refresh" one with green packaging that contains cucumber extract and is cucumber scented. It retails in their online shop for $3.99, but Walmart had it for $3.27.

The body lotion comes in three types: nourish (revitalizing care for normal to dry skin), active (refreshing care for normal to dry skin), boost (for dry to extra dry skin). They are also 90-97% natural, free of parabens, pthalates, lanolins and dyes.

The "boost" lotion contains both mineral oil and petrolatum (that is the 90% natural one), while the other two do not contain petrochemicals. All retail for $7.99 in their online shop, but were only $6.97 at Walmart.

I'm currently inundated with body lotions and it would be silly to buy any more before I use up some of what I have, so I'll wait until I can get a good deal on these before trying them - but I will definitely look forward to it!
